Thanks to my cousin Marissa, I have my first pictures of my father’s paternal grandmother, Josephine Holloway Koonce. We believe the pictures to be from around 1940s. Here is one of them:
Josephine passed away before I was born but I know that she had many of her grandchildren living her, including my aunts, as her own children moved to New York in search of better job opportunities.
Until now, I had only seen one picture of Josephine and it is a casket picture. So, I am extremely grateful to Marissa for taking the time to send me these pictures. I am overjoyed!!!
Congratulations Taneya!
I’m a koonce myself. I was reading your blog and noticed you had a grandfather named James koonce. My father’s name is James koonce and I have an uncle named George koonce. I’d like to hear more about what you find out.
Thanks Dimitric! I’ll send you an email.
I just found or was found by cousins and hope they have some missing photos and information to share with me.
That is great Kristin! Making connections is always informative!
